What kind of people are suitable for trading?

For those who want to enter the trading industry, hold on! This field is not something everyone can handle. Today, let's discuss who is suitable and what conditions must be met.

Many people immediately think that personality determines everything, believing that impulsive and impatient individuals are not suitable, while calm and composed ones are the 'chosen traders.' However, anyone who has truly experienced the ups and downs of trading knows that personality alone is not enough in the face of the market. No matter what your original temperament is, once you enter the market, you will be repeatedly 'tested' by its emotions. As a beginner, no one can rely solely on their personality to thrive; everyone must undergo a long process of honing, ultimately becoming 'as calm as still water.'

Compared to personality, I believe there are two hard conditions that have a greater impact on traders.

The first is time. From a novice to someone who can achieve stable profits, it takes at least a year. During this year, you need to constantly monitor the market, continually try, and summarize your experiences.

But how many people have that much time? Some office workers, after a long day, still want to utilize their spare time to learn trading and aspire to become full-time traders, which is basically unrealistic. After all, this field is highly competitive, and it’s extremely difficult to become one of the 10% winners relying on spare time. Relatively speaking, students, graduates, those working from home, freelancers, and housewives have more flexible schedules, giving them an advantage.

The second is financial situation. If you have significant financial pressure, I sincerely do not recommend entering this field. Too much pressure can easily lead to a breakdown in mindset, making it impossible to learn calmly from the market. Those who are eager to make money and want to get rich overnight will find trading is not a good choice; if not handled well, it can lead to deeper entanglement. Conversely, if you don’t have an urgent need for money at the moment, you can explore the trading path more steadily.

While conditions are important, people are adaptable; if there are no conditions, we can create them.

Cut down on expenses, find a more flexible working-from-home job, and create a learning environment for yourself. As long as you persist in your efforts, when the harvest time comes, you will find that all the effort is worth it!
